Ok................Xmas speech time Since the days of leavin` MM and joining the (old) Scratchmo site and eventually going up market to our plush new home i`ve come to realise what a great little gathering we have here, not only as good friends/buddies (for the overseas freternity ;D) but as a hive of info and generosity. I think the the one thing with this site is, no ones afraid to share a helpful cast of ones eye over a friends build to assist/or pass comments/praise etc or blatently just stand there and take the p***S ;D without anyone in any way feeling in the slightest bit offended.............or at least i hope not, and if i have for that i appologise ;D ;D. Secondly is the generosity and the kindess of the fellas on here, and up until today that generosity continued................i just wanna say thanks to the fellas that have sent me kits over the past months for me to build and blog...................yes even your boat `Dicky`...LOL, the others know who they are . So add the above together and you have quite a special mixture that i don`t think you`ll find on any kind of site to be honest So a huuuuge thanks to all you guys for all the continued support during my adventurous if not somewhat bizzare change of genres throught out the year ;D ;D, albeit we`ve spent most of the time in the pub talking `Bollox` and getting P***ed ;D ;D.......sorry Boss!! Big thanks to you as well Boss for keepin` a roof over us mate, us reprobates are quite well housetrained......well!!........to kennel standard at the very least.... ;D And on that note....................thats my Xmas boll....i mean.......speech over ;D ;D MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLAS ;D.. Right............TUASBRB ;D

Very eloquently put Boots!! ;D ;D....I'll put my tuppenceworth here as well,If I may....Of all the modellerers I've seen on this site,I am the least talented,and the slowest, ,but I feel comfortable in these virtual surroundings,and don't feel under any pressure at all to get things pushed out. So like Boots,...A BIG thankyou to Rob for keeping us outta the pub!!,and giving us somewhere to rest our weary bones,of an evening!! Cheers to all of you guys ;D ;D ;D

Merry Christmas to everyone and their families, hoping that your holiday is a safe and joyous one.
Also a special pray to those who have loved ones serving their country that they stay safe and come home to spend next year's holiday with their families.
It has been a pleasure to hang out with a great group of modelers and looking foward to all that 2012 will be with you guys along.
Should be one hell of an adventure. ;D ;D
Cheers, Thom
